Congrats man 
As a child, always wish for a Lambo. Now I have a luxury 4 door sedan that can go head to head with one and win.

Thanks. Got H&R spring and links sitting in the garage, but not sure if that is the best way to go for me.
Did you do the same or did you go another route ?
The way I understand it, my back wheels/tires is current sitting about a finger and a half (1 1/2 fingers ) from the back fenders and the fronts are about 3 fingers from the front fenders and the way I understand the rear airmatics lowers itself after reaching certain speed so if I lower the front with springs and it should sit flush with the fender, but the rear links will be too low especially when it reach that certain speed which then will rub.
Any thoughts or suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have had the opportunity to race a couple of facelift E63s and I do get that jump start off the line.

Bro. No disrespect, but keep in mind the ECU tune elimates ( not completely, but enough to get the jump start needed ) the lag from the green light that stock E63 including my original stock E63 encounters and mine does have the limited slip to balance the power to all 4 wheels.

The very cool thing it does do is maintain a steady ride height on the rear. Yours will end up having a ride height like mine - you'll fit the springs (and I recommend you do the springs first, then wait and do the rears after a couple of weeks if you can handle the strange look of having the front raked) and notice that the drop is more than 20mm, but it's still very cool. You'll then want to match the rear, which you can do with the links (shorter links == lower car btw - this will come in handy when you do the install). Once you've matched the rear, you'll be like...damn that looks good but what will I do once the wife n kids get into the car - it'll rub!! But no - when the car detects weight/load in the rear, it will raise itself to the new 'default' position of the car. When the rear lightens up, it'll go back down but only as far as you've set it to. I love this feature. you maintain a perfectly level ride height at all times

Nope, had a great day actually. I was cracking a joke about beating you off the line and tried to imply that with the "lolol" and emoticon and you then went into the "actually, bro, ... I've raced x, y, z... And a diatribe on why I was 'wrong' " I've always appreciated your posts and insight into these beastly machines and I don't see why that has to change.
So I'll end with this, congrats on your car and what you've accomplished with it, be safe and have fun!
Regards

Hyperion. Do you mean the Renntech or KW ELM? If so what would you recommend ? I wanted to be able to lower or rise my car electronically while in my car and not take it to a shop where a pro has to do it for me, but was told the Renntech or KW doesn't work for my 2012 model. Please kindly cleaify if possible with recommendations. Many thanks.

I cannot speak directly to the quality or ride comfort; but if I was going to drop my car, I'd go with an electronic device versus cutting springs and what not, then again, I know nothing about lowering cars.....plenty of cats here that do though

I'm fairly sure that this one doesn't do that because it doesn't have air springs on all four corners, ie the rear would be sagged down and probably create more drag on the highway.
The very cool thing it does do is maintain a steady ride height on the rear. Yours will end up having a ride height like mine - you'll fit the springs (and I recommend you do the springs first, then wait and do the rears after a couple of weeks if you can handle the strange look of having the front raked) and notice that the drop is more than 20mm, but it's still very cool. You'll then want to match the rear, which you can do with the links (shorter links == lower car btw - this will come in handy when you do the install). Once you've matched the rear, you'll be like...damn that looks good but what will I do once the wife n kids get into the car - it'll rub!! But no - when the car detects weight/load in the rear, it will raise itself to the new 'default' position of the car. When the rear lightens up, it'll go back down but only as far as you've set it to. I love this feature. you maintain a perfectly level ride height at all times

Last question. Is it possible to install the springs and links at the same time just ask the shop to adjust the link to its highest possible position and see how that goes and adjust the links as I see fit?
Many thanks.

Question, is that the Renntech front lip you have on? How easy was the install? I currently have the OEM front lip spliters and ???... Thanks.
